- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides.

- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add mashed bananas to the wet ingredients and mix until incorporated.
- Gently stir in the dry ingredients just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50โ60 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- If browning too quickly, tent the top loosely with foil and continue baking.
- Let the bread cool in the pan until slightly warm or at room temperature before slicing.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture. Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
